The UK watchdog, Ofwat, has accused South West Water of dishonesty in their drought projections. The Environment Agency (EA) claims that the water company was not open and transparent with regulators. Emails suggest that South West Water was underprepared for the 2022 drought. Critics argue that water companies, including South West Water, engage in dishonest practices such as overcharging, sewage dumping, and tax dodging due to lack of oversight from OFWAT and the government.
South West Water ‘not honest’ about drought preparations, watchdog claims. Water companies are not honest about anything - extortionate bills, sewage dumping, unplugged leaks, lack of investment, tax dodges. All because OFWAT and govt don't check abuses. https://t.co/Qdr7OFpzzy

In a letter to Ofwat the EA said that @SouthWestWater had not been “honest, open and transparent with regulators". So the regulators know that the water companies are frauds and yet they do? NOTHING! Time for change. https://t.co/mr0HwVGvRU
